autotorrent 1.1.2

AutoTorrent allows easy cross-seeding

Given an input torrent, it will scan your collection for the files in the torrent. If all the files are found, a folder with links to all the files will be created.

The idea is to be able to organise your collection as you want to and still be able to seed with the folder structure required by the torrent.

Install

From GitHub (develop):

virtualenv autotorrent-env
autotorrent-env/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/JohnDoee/autotorrent.git

From PyPi (stable):

virtualenv autotorrent-env
autotorrent-env/bin/pip install autotorrent

Configuration

All settings can be found and changed in autotorrent.conf, this file must reside in the same folder as autotorrent is executed from.

general

• db - Path to the database file

• store_path - Folder where the virtual folders seeded, resides

• ignore_files - A comma seperated list of files that should be ignored (does not support wildcard)

• rtorrent_url - URL to rtorrent, must be to the XMLRPC server

• label - Label added to torrents when added to rtorrent (used in rutorrent only)

• add_limit_size - Max size, in bytes, the total torrent size is allowed to vary

• add_limit_percent - Max percent the total torrent size is allowed to vary

the add_limit_* variables allow for downloading of e.g. different NFOs and other small files that makes a difference in the torrents.

disks

A list of disks where to build the search database from.

The keys must be sequential, i.e. disk1, disk2, disk3 etc.

Instructions

Start by installing and configuring.

Step 1, build the database with autotorrent -r, this can take some time.

Step 2, have some torrents ready and run autotorrent -a folder/with/torrents/*.torrents, this command will spit out how it went with adding the torrents.

And you’re good to go, it is possible to verify the integrity of the currently seeded torrents with autotorrent -v

Limitations

• Only works with rtorrent

• Probably only works on Linux
